first draft

Life is a series of choice. We used to choose something, we are choosing something now, we will choose something in the future. We must choose something and that's what life is. We are in the middle of the continuance of the choice. Are you just going to choose whatever you want? Even doesn't matter? No of course not. Everyone wants to live their own happy lives even that choice can involve certain risk. We usually regard those who jump into risk and do what others might not try as risk taker thinking there is a big wall between those people and normal us. However, we are also a big risk taker. If you are doing something, you are a risk taker. If you are doing nothing, then, you are even more a risk taker. Every human being is a risk taker.

Typically when people are asked about the most important traits entrepreneur is needed, they say, it is definitely risk taking behavior. Entrepreneur is a person who is attempting new things even the thing involves some kind of danger. And it is commonly recognized that there are huge differences between the entrepreneur and normal people like us. However,

there are two facts we, the normal people, are missing. The first thing is we confine the word "risk taking" to the person like entrepreneur not regarding the mundane faculties and the other risks we, the normal people, are taking. For example, there were two man. One said, "You're an entrepreneur. You are out there trying things. Either you will succeed, or you will fail. That makes you a risk taker". But the other man replyed, "No but you are much big risk taker. You work for someone else. If your boss or somebody else makes a mistake, the whole company could go down, which might have nothing to do with you. Your fate may be in someone else's hands. That's pretty risky". Who do you think is more riskier? Both of them. They both are risk taker. Also, becuase we are always in the middle of choice and option, we are the so-called risk taker too. The other is we all have risk taking behaviors. Actually we must have risk taking behaviors. The study got through an experiment and found out that when we get rewarded for a risk taking behavior, endorphin which is a kind of hormone rsecretes in our brain so that we are more obsessed to repeat such actions. Also the genetic makeup works in this place that it is likely that the son of the risk taker take another risk. And the mind offers an equally compelling reason why people do risk things.

In these days, the idea that every human has risk taking traits are getting stronger. There are many studies that found variation of risk taker personality. Scientists could be one great example. Sociobiologist E. O. Wilson has commented, "Scientists spend their productive lives struggling to reach the edge of knowledge in order to make discoveries." Just as the mountaineer risks death or injury to reach the summit of a difficult climb, these scientists risk ridicule and failure to discover answers.

If what i've insisted so far is true, then, human will evolve remarkably to the given and changing environmemt. We will eventually adapt to it. However if people ignore the argument and keep looking at those risk taker as a strange or surprising aboriginal thing, then, even though we have much more space to evolve and make a wonderful history, we will remain still leaving our wonderful characteristic unnecessary thing.

Endorphin gives us a strong reason why risk taking could have become a widespread human characteristic. Endorphin is what the brain releases in response to imminent physical danger. One neurobiologist, Candace Pert, discovered that endorphins enable us to balance the rush of adrenaline that flows into our bloodstreams during dangerous moments with cool, calm thinking and an ability to give undivided attention to crucial matters despite the surrounding chaos. Also Pert believes that greater sensitivity to endorphins gave certain early humans a survival advantage, and this made sure the succedding of the genes to the other generation.

Early human risk takers were probably more likely to wander off established trails, possibly finding a new source of water or game. Such individuals might also have risked being seen as different in order to invent a new kind of weapon or animal trap, or to try eating a new plant or other potential food item. These acts would have triggered a pleasurable excitement in the risk taker, but might also have profoundly benefited his or her group.

Because of the ancestor's genes have succeeded to our generation, in this modern life, we are taking a lot of risks that are adapted to our situation and also the desire for such action still runs strong in our genetic makeup. Also the convincing reason of the continuation of the genetic characteristics is that the positive reinforcement is given to risk taker. This trait is strengthened by the societies

There are many who still believes risk taking is unique trait only a minority of people share. However, as the evidence tells us, risk taking trait is not what out generation has made or created but it is succeeded to our society without discontinuance. We are mentally and psychologically born as a risk taker by our ancestors and perhaps we are physically made to take risk. Every human is a risk taker.

 

Still there are many who think the oppostite of me and I partly believe the same way with them. Those people suggest many powerful reasons. They say taking risk is rather a way to lose chance, defining a risk taking acts as participating in a war with nothing worn, not properly equppied. However, they are missing a big thing. Don't you think waiting for complete ready could be rather another chance of risk taking. As I have mentioned before, our life is in the middle of the choice, if we chose something to happen, we should have responsibility for that choice and have to choose another thing. Don't you think staying still is nothing but just agreeing to take a another risk. Then another people can still insist that only the minority has the risk taking behaviors. I can say the same thing i have said. They are only confining risk taker to the extreme things but we do take risks in our mundane faculties without conscious.

When living our lives, sometimes, we may be shy to take a risk or mabye the eyes of the other people would look you as a strange person so that you can't take a further step to advance that involves risk taking. However, don't forget to know that every people do risk taking behaviors and that it is totally common thing. Maybe there might be no other common thing than this in the world. Even those who looks you the strange way take risks unconsciously. We are now in the middle of risk taking. And It is not you can or you have the right to take risks. You are born to be risk takers because every little thing contains risks. Think about it. If there were no risk taking behaviors how could we be born in this world , what if our mom and dad did not determine to marry which is part of taking risk. We are now making our own world because of the trait that every human being shares, risk taking.

Source:
 http://www.shaunrosenberg.com/why-being-a-risk-taker-is-not-always-a-good-thing//Why Being A Risk Taker Is Not Always A Good Thing

My Topic:
Every human being has risk taking behavior.

 What I hope to learn from this source:
 I want to find out the negative side of the risk taking behaviors.

Notes:
1.if you take more risks you get more opportunities.
2. We can Eliminate Risks You Don’t Need To Take
3. we can be more ready and equipped when actually we thought we need to take a risk.

 

Final Thoughts:

I wanted to know why some think risk taking behavior is not needed rather should be avoided so I can prepare the refutation. With this source i was able to know their arguments and also learned to know how to make my thesis more strong. I can do it well!

introduction

Every human being has risk taking behavior.

The introduction:

1. Attracts the audience. 
2. Explains the topic.
3. Declares the thesis of your argument.

 

Intro.

 Life is a series of choice. We used to choose something, we are choosing something now, we will choose something in the future. We must choose something and that's what life is. We are in the middle of the continuance of the choice. Our life is a choice. Are you just going to choose whatever you want? Even doesn't matter? No of course not. Everyone wants to live their own happy lives even that choice can involve certain risk. We usually regard those who jump into risk and do what others might not try as risk taker thinking there is a big wall between those people and normal us. However, we are also a big risk taker. If you are doing something, you are a risk taker. If you are doing nothing, then, you are even more a risk taker. Every human being is a risk taker.

Classical argument outline

1. The introduction

I will start by taking one example with a extraordinary person that has risk taking characteristics. Then i will take another example that is common feature that is all inherent in every person. And remind people that there is no differce between the first and the second one showing they are all risk taking behavior which is involved in human action and intention. I will end with my thesis, "Every human has risk taking behavior."

2. The narration

I will collect and summarize all my researches i have gone through and  show some studies that tells us the involuntary risk taking behaviors. Also, I will redefine the true meaning of risk taking that readers can understand the real meaning of  "risk taking".

3. The confirmation

I will explain the existence of the endorphins and why this substance is created in our brain so that risk taking characteristics must be included in our behavior. I will show that the society gives risk takers positive behavioral reinforcement so that it will virtually guarantee the continuation of the genetic characteristics that make individuals to take risks. I will also mention about the teens who are forced to take risks because of social structure made by their peers.

4. The refutation and concession

I will concede that there actually are people who want to stay still without any change if the change accompanies some kind of risk. Such as people not changing the job. However, i will reemphasize that we do risk taking behaviors involunarily in our daily lives without notice.

5. The summation

I will lastly summarize with rearranging the examples which show that we do risk taking behaviors impliedly. And I will end with reemphasizing my thesis again.

Articulate

1) My argument
I want to argue that Everyone has risk taking personality.  There are some statistics that shows people usually avoid risk taking rather remaining where they would be. But taking many sources and research i would like to argue every person has risk taking personality.

2) How I found my argument
As i change my topic i must make another list of research question. My first research question would be, 'who do we refer to risk taker?' To this quesiton, i was curious whether the mundane performer is a risk taker. Nornally it is hard to say opposite. Second research question was 'is there any personality that everyone has both in common'.  I thought there would be. Another research guestion was what is the meaning of the risk taking? I thought risk taking can mean many things even mandane faculties. And these helped me select my topic as 'Everyone has risk taking personality.'

3) New research questions
I have several questions that need to be resolved.
a)  Does risk taking personality work as a way to get to a success.
b)  Good examples (and also bad examples that worked by risk taking personality) .
c) Is risk taking all inherently involved in our nature?
I'll continue browsing the internet and looking for interesting articles and keeping track of my research with blog posts.

4) Connections to the Harvard Sampler
This argument has many connections to the Harvard Sampler. First, it is totally related to the Human mind. Human mind is a research considering the phychological side of the human personality and i thought this could connect the Harvard Sampler (what we are studing now) and my topic(What i will study in the future when i go to the college)

Source:
 Teenage risk-taking: how to handle it//http://raisingchildren.net.au/articles/risktaking_teenagers.html

My Topic:
 Every human being has risk taking behavior.


What I hope to learn from this source:
I wonder if all risk taking behavior is good . So i will find out what kind or risk taking actions should we avoid and what kind of healthy risk taking behaviors we should follow as a teenager.

Notes:

1. Risk-taking behavior is part of normal youth development. It can help a young person build confidence and  strengthen decision making skills
2. risk-taking behavior can be  healthy and help young peopel thrive. 
3.  There are certainly negative risky behaviors such as substance use, stunts that can result in serious injury, texting while driving and unprotected sex.
4.  there are many positive risks that can fulfill a young person’s need for thrill in a healthy way.
5. For example, Meet new people. Joining a club or making new friends involves a social risk
6. Study abroad, host an exchange student or take a college course.

Final Thoughts:

Because of this source, i found out that we all own risk taking behaviors. But it is needed to select out the healthy own and the bad own. Next time i want to find out why there are some who believes the opposite of me and find out their argument. By that i can prepare for their refutaion and maybe even it can have positive effect in making my argument stronger.

Research Example: Healthy risk-taking

Source:

http://www.theguardian.com/education/2004/jul/15/research.highereducation2// Healthy risk-taking

My Topic:

Risk taking is alwasys a good thing.

What I hope to learn from this source:

I want to find out what is risk taking and whether it is good or not. I hope this source can help me find out things that can support my idea

Notes:

1. Great, otherwise unforeseen opportunities often come from risk-taking.
2. Taking risks shows confidence and helps you stand out.
3. We learn from risks -- and those lessons may lead us on an important, new path.
4. Success won't fall in your lap -- you have to pursue it.
5. You don't achieve your dreams by playing it safe.
6. Embracing risk-taking helps you overcome a fear of failure.
7. Taking a risk doesn't mean doing so haphazardly (we do risk taking behaviors a lot in our daily lives).

Final Thoughts:

This source really helped me with making my argument strong. I could find out the basic but accurate reasons why risk taking is good thing and why we should follow it. Also I could know the word "risk taking" not only refers to the hazard behaviors but also our mundane acts. Next time i might need find more specific things that would strengthen my topic.

Research2

Since i found it is hard to come out with an conclution with my topic, I decided to change my topic : Every human being has risk taking behaviors.

Research Example: 8/18

Source:
 Risk-taking behaviors//http://www.faqs.org/health/topics/15/Risk-taking-behaviors.html

My Topic: Every human being has risk taking behavior.

 

 What I hope to learn from this source:
 I want to find out whether my new topic is reasonable or persuasive with many supporting articles.

Notes:

1. In reality, though, risk-taking behaviors also include more mundane acts
2. in one of the deep, dark, old parts of ourbrains, where the control centers for survival and reproduction are located,there are preprogrammed impulses in some people that stimulate them to take risks, "risk seekers"
3. it is important to note that we cannot reasonably divide the population into risk takers and risk avoiders
4. This positive reinforcement is a powerful force that, if it continues, will virtually guarantee the continuation of the genetic characteristics that predispose individuals to taking risks.
5.  the mind offers an equally compelling reason for why people do risky things.

Final Thoughts:

Wow this source is really good. I helped me a lot with finding out the positive effects of the risk taking. The greatest thing was it is directly connected to my topic so that i can use this article as a powerful supporting source. With this i was able to know that my topic can be much more reasonable and finally know how to choose my thesis sentences. (Oh!! I think i am taking a risk right now!!)
